Hugh Hefner wants to become a father again - at the age of 80.
The Playboy boss - who already has four children from two previous marriages - is considering starting a family with one of his three live-in girlfriends, Playboy Playmate Holly Madison, 27.
He told the New York Daily News newspaper: "I wouldn't say that there's a plan, but there has certainly been a conversation. I think if I say it will probably happen that would be an overstatement, but it is a very real possibility. It began as a wish, and now it's becoming, I mean, on Holly's part, a more serious conversation."
The legendary lothario also insists that after years of searching he has finally found true love with Holly.
He said: "This is the one. It's fascinating - I mean, with all the years and the romantic adventures and the marriages and so on - to find something as special as this at this stage in my life is a miracle."
Hefner's oldest daughter, Christie Hefner, is 54. She is also the chairman and CEO of Playboy Enterprises.

I hope Hugh Hefner does some research on the risks to the offspring of a much older father in terms of genetics as well as psychologically.

Genetic Mutations Tied To Father in Most Cases
By NATALIE ANGIER
Published: May 17, 1994
WHEN it comes to parceling out blame for birth defects and genetic disorders, women have historically shouldered most of the burden, particularly older mothers who supposedly risked their offspring's well-being by letting their eggs sit around growing progressively more stale and chromosomally unstable.
By contrast, men have been seen as eternally fertile, able to father healthy children well into their dotage.
But growing evidence suggests that men, rather than women, may be the source of most new genetic mutations in the population, and thus may be responsible for the majority of congenital diseases that seem to come from nowhere. In addition, the older the man gets, the more likely his sperm is to carry genetic mutations.
The new view is based largely on studies of individual cells, and scientists emphasized that they have much to learn about the source of genetic mutations. Nor do they have any idea how often a minor variation in the genetic blueprint for a human being translates into a birth defect. The overwhelming majority of genetic alterations that appear in the course of generating sex cells are likely to be harmless. Nevertheless, some researchers said it was time to take a closer look at the inherent fallibility of sperm cells.
'This is a subject that has not received as much attention as it should,' said Dr. James F. Crow, a geneticist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
